About this listen
Return to the Celtic magic that began with the suspenseful, award-winning novel Circle of Nine: Beltany.
Descended from a legendary Celtic tribe that guards the secrets of the ancient stone circles, the Quinn women have a great responsibility to protect their pagan rituals and way of life. As members of the formidable Circle of Nine, they celebrate the holidays of the year from Yule to Samhain, keeping the traditions of the Tuatha de Danann alive through the centuries against insurmountable odds. We first met these women in Circle of Nine - Beltany, and now, a set of three novellas reveals more of their engaging stories.
In Bressa’s Banishment, the power struggle between Father Banan and village healer Bressa Gormley unfolds amidst accusations of treachery, heresy, and murder. Can the Circle protect their trusted healer and the path of the Tuatha against a growing religious fervor?
Dervla’s Destiny brings us to medieval Ireland where the beloved character Dervla Quinn learns of her gifts and fights tremendous loss, betrayal, and violence, all the while never giving up on finding the love she deserves.
In Phoebe's Mission, when an evil force on a quest for ultimate power threatens the Circle of Nine, Phoebe Quinn must leave Ireland for the first time and travel to the United States to protect their way of life. Along the way, she meets the handsome Macklin Scott, taking her mission - and possibly her future - on a far different course than expected.

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

When I was younger, my mother saved my settlement from the unblessed dead that would have killed us all. It cost her everything to reveal her necromancy and sent shockwaves through our stringent religious settlement. Convicted of heresy against our sacred lost texts, she died soon after. Since then, I have worked hard to maintain my pious standing so that when I turn 18 I will be selected by a suitable husband at the bridal auction. As the large clock in town square ticks down to my 18th birthday, the dead have been appearing in my garden.

When the sudden and suspicious death of Eloise’s mother points to forbidden magic, Eloise is determined to bring her mother’s murderer to justice. She will stop at nothing to find the killer...even if the clues lead right to the palace gates and the prince’s manservant Kaven. He is irrational, volatile, and prone to knocking women off horses. Given his personality, it should be easy to find the proof she needs to place him in irons. However, when dark magic is used, nothing is as it seems, and Eloise is about to learn that nightmares often hide behind fairy tale lives.

Boudica, second daughter of a Celtic king, has little concern for tribal tensions and political intrigues. Called by the gods and the stirrings of her own wild heart, she listens instead to whispers of the oaks. But Boudica would be wiser to heed the warning cries of eagles. Rumors abound that the Romans are amassing forces for another invasion. In an effort to consolidate power, Boudica’s father turns to Prasutagus, the formidable ruler of the Greater Iceni. To win Prasutagus’s aid, Boudica’s father must strike a bargain - a deal with implications beyond Boudica’s imagining.

Go and travel back in time!
My second book in the series Circle of Nine. After I read the first book: Beltany, I couldn't wait for the next book to arrive on Audible. And honestly, I was not disappointed! The first book was a parallel of few stories - the main one that of Brigit Quinn, and others as Brigit was reading about the other characters- her ancestors. In the second book: Novella Collection, Valerie Biel gave us deeper insight into the world of Circle of Nine. She went into detail about Bressa, Dervla and another character Phoebe. I couldn't stop listening and I didn't want the stories to end. Stories are written very well, and obviously characters built really well too.
The narrator Paige Jensen - I am so glad that she got to narrate the second book as well. I love her Scottish accent and her ability to switch between characters so effortlessly male and female; old and young. One feedback for Paige would be to have different characteristics for male voices. All the male voices sound very much the same... but honestly that's minor. I hope that she continues to narrate others as well.
Lastly- Jamie Fraser/Outlander fans- this book is for you! Jamie Fraser must have been Liam in his past life. That's all I will say about this.
Love... love... love this series.
